Along with members of the parish council Stacey and I met with pupils from Blackhall Primary School yesterday afternoon when the children revealed the design they had selected for the new play area to be installed soon in Blackhall Welfare Park.
Stacey and I were delighted to be able to help with grants from the Neighbourhood Budget which, together with funding from the National Lottery Fund and Monk Hesleden Parish Council, will provide the necessary financial support for this scheme to go ahead.
Works on the play area are expected to begin in the next few months and are scheduled to be completed in time for the start of the school summer holidays in July.
We're sure that residents will join us in thanking the students from Blackhall Primary School for their help, and for selecting such an exciting new play scheme for the Welfare Park.
